I am confident that the new 2257 regs will not mean it will be "business as usual". A big selling feature for any "adult" dating site is the ability to search and view "explicit" images of potential partners. Take away this feature, and suddenly it is just a dating site, with some raunchy text.

This is why I am specifically questioning the adult dating industry. The new 2257 rules will likely have more effect on you then any other large player in the industry. Other porn sites will still be able to show "sexually explicit" images. They will simply need to keep the records on hand for all of their models. (Which most have already been doing). And in the case of content that they buy from other producers, their buying power is significant enough to ensure easy access to the records for this purchased content.

But for dating sites, it is quite a different matter. You either (a) ask for the removal of all explicit images or (b) ask for a faxed copy of all ID. Both factors would likely casue some resistance from your members.

But this is just the way I see it. And I could be wrong. Which is why I am asking for clarification.
